I found it odd that someone whose dog was (is) potentially in dire need of medical care was posting more ridiculous threads on a message forum.

Situational irony in a nutshell.

Stalker much? Why don't you just start your own Barbara campaign thread instead of smearing every thread she posts and bitching about her on Facebook.

I don't agree with her decisions all the time, or her attitude some of the time, but seriously... What are you (and some others) trying to achieve by flogging a dead horse. Apart from looking snide.

None of us agree with Barbara's choices about Josh anymore than you do and we are all equally concerned about the dogs but do you see ANY of us HARASSING her and being a childish ass to her? No. She asked for advice in a thread on a forum and now you won't let it go as she posts other threads that are completely unrelated? Leave her alone and get a life.

It's something REALLY personal. What you might be able to brush off and say "no big deal" about - might crush me and vice versa. I'm no one to say that anyone's life will improve/get better because I really don't know/can't guarantee for sure that it will - just as others can't say the same thing about my life.

A averagely bad day for me might be 100x worse than your most miserable day imaginable. The argument can't be made that my life is good and worth preserving IMO because you just don't know that it is. Even those that lived with me can't say that it is.

I "gamble" as it were - I take it one day at a time...I persevere (or try to). I tell myself that there's nothing to lose by sticking it out for a little while longer... Writing/talking about it helps, and knowing even strangers care and don't wish to see me go in such a way is touching. But recently I've been just really tired and wanting to just take it easy.

Sure I could. Alternately, you might find that your stress is alleviated by a couple of Midol and a marital aid.

Asking a question about the well being of a dog...on a dog forum...equates to harassment all of a sudden? Really now, why don't you sit down and tell me more about your logic.

"Oh no, my 5 year old son is bleeding from the ears and doesn't move much when I poke him with a stick, what do I do guys?" 15 minutes later, new thread, same poster, no update to previous thread... "So, what are everyones' thoughts regarding inhalant abuse?" You wouldn't find that a little off? No? Maybe I'm not the one with the problem.

No, I'm pretty certain you are.

I've posted in all of, what... Two threads Barbara has started? And that constitutes stalking? Why don't you sit over there next to PitBullLove and you can both tell me all about your logic together...

I suppose two short comments on a thread on Facebook count as stalking as well; One being, "Barbara isn't bothering to read her PMs, I sent one the other day offering to help with the APBT and she has yet to read it." And the other, "I'm personally in the "let dumb criminals hang themselves" camp, but, meh.."

On second thought, I'm fairly certain that neither of those qualify, either. How strange.

Sit down, kids. I'm going to go ahead and let you in on a little secret. Ready? This is an online discussion forum. Sometimes, people post things that you won't agree with, or are going to upset and/or offend you and others. I understand that it can be shocking when you first come to this realization.

Perhaps, and this is simply a suggestion...those who do not want their stories scrutinized should not post them publicly?

Sweet heart, I've been here a lot longer than you, seen a lot more discussions than you can shake a stick at, and been involved in more than you've likely had hot dinners.

I also recognise when someone is just being a turd for being a turds sake. Notice, there are a few people "discussing" this. Yet you're the only one being singled out.....

Now jog on, mate

I just wanted to point out the irony in you complaining to me because you have a problem with something I posted about having a problem with something someone else posted. And I'm the one with a problem.

Keep posting, you crack me up AND I'm learning so much from you. Would not want to deprive people of the gold star effort you make
